Welcome to the Twin Tides Intercostal Cottage. One of two of our unique side-by-side properties on the ICWW with a private pier and dock- with a slip available to our avid boaters (upon request and review assuming un-rented and for an additional fee). We modernized this home with our own family of 6 in mind. Very family friendly and family aligned. When we refreshed, we had no intention to rent the home so we put all we had into it, making it ideal for our huge family. Our kitchen features all Subzero and Wolf appliances- a true home chefs dream. The kitchen features concrete countertops- which are great but please be cautious and don't leave liquids long enough to sink in! On the main level there is a master bedroom, with painless access off the kitchen and private access to the bathroom. Great for parents wanting a separate space from their kiddos, or a magnificent spot for in-law/grandparents. Upstairs we have three additional bedrooms and a loft/flex space. Currently, the loft is used with kids in mind. We have crafts and a table for kids to be creative for any afternoon storm time. There is a bedroom specifically keeping the kids in mind. It features 2 twin beds. The second bedroom upstairs features a king size bed and shares a bathroom with the kids bedroom. There is also a master upstairs! This room is too ideal for parents. It features a king size bed, and the attached private bathroom spared no expense for us. It's got handmade tile in the bathroom, concrete countertops featuring shells from the intracoastal and granite floor. It also has a massive tub for your enjoyment. The master also has its own private balcony, which is hands down the best spot to watch dolphins and the sunrise. Our location is unique, we're located right across from a protected island. So the vistas will always be unspoiled from development. We're also down a long gravel driveway giving you plenty of privacy. We are also on a peninsula, accepting not only intracoastal and ocean vistas, but marsh vistas on the backside. One of my favorite things about this property is the marsh. The marsh is so alive, and something right out of a novel. We have a enormous lot- esp for the beach! Please use the playground, pier, and property at your own discretion. The yard is ideal for our fur kids to also get some off leash exercise, please just make sure our pet friends stay in our yard- while it's very private, we do have neighbors that share that long dirt road we live down. For the pier, the boat slips are available for an additional fee upon prior approval and assuming the slips aren't already rented. Feel complimentary to fish or clam or crab! There is a sand bar that peaks it's head at low tide, it is a MUST to go discover the sandbar. Let the kids catch a hermit crab or go clamming to get a real feel for the coastal lifestyle. Feel complimentary to grab a kayak or paddle board if available. We have multiple but guests tend to not exactly "care" for these items so it's dwindling each year we rent. But, you're always more than welcome to bring whatever gear you may need to appreciate the water. We also feature an outdoor bathroom and a separate outdoor shower. If you've got kids, you've heard the bathroom pleas as soon as you get located. The outdoor bath makes it easier than taking soaking wet little ones all the way in the home! The shower is magnificant to wash all that sand off prior to going inside too, and obviously something us owners adore for guests to use! This home is at the end of nearly a mile long dirt driveway, it's a very private escape! If seclusion isn't your thing, or you like city lights, this listing isn't for you! We're always updating furnishings and my toxic trait is never being done with renovations, so expect some updates from current photos! Looking for a family reunion? Book our Ocean Tides private home also. Vistas of the Atlantic Ocean can be seen from our freshly remodeled property right next door! Minutes away from Carolina Beach, the NC Fort Fisher Aquarium, the NC Battleship, golf courses or downtown Wilmington. This home spared no expense to really make it a getaway to visit time and time again. You will appreciate this coastal bungalow that looks like it came out of a novel. We only rent enough to be able to hang on to the property and savor it ourselves! We hope you appreciate our home as much as ours. In a ideal world our guests would be yearly repeat visitors!
